What's the Best Floor Mat for You?

Before you can think about installing car mats, you need to decide which mats will provide the protection you’re looking for.

If you’re after extra style and comfort, you may be better off choosing carpet floor mats, like Lloyd mats.

Installing Your Floor Mats

Once you choose your new car mats, installation is a breeze. But, there are some tips on how to install floor mats that you’ll want to keep in mind.

Step 1. Never double up your floor mats. If you simply place your new mat over an existing floor mat, the top mat will shift around, preventing it from providing quality protection, and possibly posing danger on the driver’s side.

Step 2. Test your pedals. After you install your floor mats, check that all your pedals are in working order before taking your ride for a spin.

Step 3. Inspect your driver’s side mat with regularity, ensuring that it doesn’t slide around or become dislodged from its position.
